    Surviving the Recession

    Well I sucessfully survived the first company wide layoff of the year!  Yay!  My wife's workplace is also in the midst of a layoff but she also seems OK.  Huge relief!!
     
    Work was rough today as I had people I depend on just not doing what they should.  I ALMOST sent them a nasty email but thought better of it and saved it as draft instead to let it sit and cool off some.
     
    My stepdaughter recently BROKE a drum pad clean off my Rock Band 2 drums.  The whole family has really gotten into this game!  It's the first where it wasn't just ME playing the xbox but now everyone, even the 7 year old is getting into it.  So I really need to replace the drum set so we can all play together.  Hope to next week (bonus pay comes in).
     
    As for bonus pay..yeah thanks company BUT timing is bad as the car needs $1000 of work on it!  Apparently Mercury Sables are known for the bad rear struts.  Those babies need replacement on top of all four tires (which I got a great deal at Costco on) and the front end alignment.  Bummer!
